VOL. XXXIV. -NO. 46. ARE you ThurtdajV going to Newark next Bryan la coming to Ohio, free silver. 'Rah Tor No true friend to register. of silver will neglect ui no; tne tiepuoiican press la not frantic over the coming of Bryan to Ohio! A word from one man will stop the Union Pacific steal. Will the word be spokenV Is it a good plan to fill the U. S. ate with millionaire monopolists Mark Hanna? sen' like Let us give a long pull, a strong pull and a pull altogether for the people against the millionaires. If you want to down Mark Hanna, you should vote for Pinck, Miller and Power for members of the legislature. Chapman only had 9200.00 stock in the Columbus Bicycle company not 1200,000 as the types made us say yesterday.Stick to the text. Free silver advocates will not be stampeded by the lies put in circulation by the minions of Wall atrttc The farrnvrs wr.l remember the ln-sulting carmatui e i f the western farmers that inn' a'n; m the eastern gold-bug press i a.-,, ii i. The ku.d of prosperity which makes the Hvnra organ p -t pose pauper potato pun;tii.n "for ii.ij unemployed leaves a bad taste in the mouth. Are you enjoying the prosperity the money sharks promised you one year ago? If you are not, will you permit them to bunco you again this year? The party now In power has increased the prices of the necessaries of life, but have cot increased wages. How does this benefit the workingman? Friends of silver should make their arrangements to go to Newark next Thursday to hear Bryan and Chapman. Excursion rates on all the railroads. The sure way to cast your ballot, so that your vote will count against the boss boodler of the age, Labor Crusher Hanna, is to put your X mark In the circle under the rooster. The lies now being circulated regarding Democratic candidates by Mark Hanna's hired agents are myriad in number, but sensible voters will be on their guard against them. The same old bunco crowd is trying to work their gold brick on to the voters this year, But the voters are not in a receptive mood this year so far as gold bricks are concerned. Are you satistied with the way county affairs are running? Collecting one-third more from the people in the way of taxes, now than when the people were flush and prosperous? Vote for Hogan. The Bellaire Steel works has Imported "scabs" from Pittsburg to take the places of the regular employes who struck against a reduction of wages thirty per cent, below what was paid last year. . If you are in earnest in your opposition to the rapid growth of Wall street influence in this country, you will not neglect to see that your name is properly registered in the precinct where you now live. Unless you are registered you cannot vote. : The Democrat who fears If the Ohio legislature is Democratic it will not elect a high grade senator, may as well dlsuel his fears. There are now more than a dozen candidates of high character. The next senator elected from Ohio will be a man, not a mere vulgar millionaire. i he i lines uecoraer 18 making a great effort to create the impression that Democrats are protesting against Bryan coming to Ohio. Have you heard any such protests? Well, hard ly I The Only fellows who are kicking about this arrangement are the Hanna gang of boodlers. Hanna hasn't crawled out of that Union Pacific $20,000,000 grab very successfully. If his own statement be true, that the plot was hatched during Cleve land's administration, he is hung by nis own rope, lor he was a government director of the Union Pacific by ap pointment of Grover Cleveland. In a speech delivered in Brooklyn re cently Thurston said: "There will be no more Republican presidents of the United States unless you elect Ben' jamln F. Tracy first mayor of Greater New York.j' As Tracy has absolutely no chance of being elected, the con elusion must be anything but cheering to the members of the g. o. p. - Is the farmer satisfied with his con dition under the Hanna gold standard? Satisfied to toil early and late, summer and wintrr, for long years and then discover that his wealth has not Increased but has rather diminished? Satisfied to see his land decrease in value and his taxes increase? Wake m, ve thinking men, and smite the Wall street oligarchy hip and thigh! While there is a remarkable certainty of the election of the silver ticket in the county, that fact should not be permitted to inspire indifference, or apathy. The duty of Democrats is plain. Let each one exert himself to insure the success of the whole ticket. The opposition is aroused and is now employing every tactic to win the race and are struggling and striving with an energy that deserves Democratic imitation. Friends of silver should not permit themselves to be ift-oved by goldbug appeals on the scoreof acquaintance or friendship. Vote the straight Democratic ticket and work on election dav for each candidate, each of j whom is in every way worthy of thb support of every voter in the county. The time from now until election is short, and every hour should be fully improved. Begin the business at once, let your work for the silver causa equal your opportuni ties. IF any person is not entirely satisfied as to whether or not Mr. Rodders, Mr. Shryock acd Mr. Swingle voted for the infamous fifty-year street railway franchise bill, we urge them to examine the offic.al Senate and House Journals and see for themselves. We have these official Journals in the Sig nal office and anyone can have his doubts set to rest by calling and seeing the records for themselves. The Columbus papers published the fact of the Columbus Buggy company reducing the hours of labor in their works, and the company never denied it. The letter which the Times Eetord- er publishes this morning has a decidedly fishy flavor. We venture to say that no responsible official of the company will say over his own signature that the works have run to one-half their full capacity during the past month. Let some mechanic applv tflere for a jOtj and ssee for himsCif. Mark Hanna, who has turned down Hon. C. L, Kurtz, Foraker's campaign manager for years, humiliating him on every occasion, finally concluded that he needed Kurtz in his business, and the past few days has been using his utmobt efforts to get him into line. He sent several minions to Kurtz, and, not succeeding, finally sent Forakeras a bearer of the olive branch. This also failed, and then he tried to get a per sonal interview, with the result that Kurtz sent the following message to Hanna: '"Tell Mr. Hanna that I do not care to meet him. He has injured me too deeply for forgiveness." The desperation of Hanna, feeling as he does that defeat stares him In the face and in a state that gave the Republican ticket 50,000 last fall, has led him to employ everv means in his power to save himself. He has even bent bis knee to Kurtz and other For- aker friends. He has had the national committee send out appeals in the shape of circular letters signed by Charles Dick, which letters have been received by Eoraker men In this city, appealing to them to vote the legislative ticket and thus save the countrv from the Democrats. The appeal is pathetic and shows that the great boss feels that defeat is in store for him. To the hard worker, the man who toils and sweats day after day for a mere sustenance, doesn't the thought sometimes come that his condition is not exactly what it ought to be? Does he never reason that so much hard work and so little to show for it, is not in accordance with the promises of a free republic? A slave in the olden time frequently had as much to show for his labor as the freeman of today. Surely there is something radically wrong with any republic where "wealth accumulates," in the hands of a few, and men decay." Will you' vote to endorse the System that has built up classes and millionaires In this country? A system that has driven the masses of the people into a hopeless state of poverty?What a wonderful thing is the tar iff.. The Republican statesmen who took the contract to make the farmers of this country prosperous and haDDV went about it by placing a tariff of $2 on hay and also substantially remembering clover. According to the Re publican tariff theory a tariff on any thing raised the price of the article protected. A tariff on hay and clover seed was to increase the price to the farmer. Has it done so? Look at the markets. The crop of both hav and clover seed this season was bounti ful. But the price is far below what it was last year. In fact .there are localities where the farmers are glad to get even a market for their hay. Where the farmer used to get $4 and 85 a bushel for clover seed he is glad to get 13 50 now. The haymows of the land are stacked full and the clover bins are overflowing. But the price has gone the other way, and here again is another illustration that neither Mr. Hanna nor Mr. Ding-ley had anything to do with either the rise or fall in prices of anything. It simply bears out what political econ' omy has ever maintained and what the Democratic party has always agreed with, viz, that the law of supply and demand takes precedence of political parties, platforms and political tariffs. Mr. Hanna as a Bupreme being is a total fizzle. Much glee has been manifested by the Republican press over the reports of the various custom houses of the country. It is shown that the exports of the country are in great excess of the Imports for the corresponding month of last year. This as everybody kcows is due to the demand for breadstuffs as the result of the. shortage in the old country There would have been an equal exportation no matter what party was in power and no matter what tariff was In force. But the Republican papers stop there They go no.further than the exports. Your Uncle' Sam is more Interested in the imports That's where he gets his, money. Through imports he isenabled to pay his private bills. But the figures do not encour age the idea that he will be able to keep on meeting all his bills. His im ports for the same month in which there was an increase of 810,000,000 in exports, also show a similar loss. As the Wilson tariff exacted a per oentage of 47, or a little less than one-half, and as the Dlngley bill is greater it is plain to be seen that on a basis of 810,000,000 less of imports the actual loss of revenue to the government on that sum would be about 85,000,000. In other words If this loss holds out the government will be a loser to the extent of 860,000,000 a year. When the Wilson bill went Into effect and reduced the shortage of the McKlnley bill from $69,000,000 to 84. 000,000 the Republican press fairly howled with agony. So far this year the Dingley bill has left the government with a deficit of 834,280,000. The de ficlt of the month up to -October 15 is 85,264,501.44. By the end of the month It will reach 810,000,000 or 812,000,000, At the rate it Is growing the annual de ficlt will exceed 8100,000,000. This is truly a fine showing tor a business tar' iff.

The United States treasury statement for 1897, shows, on page 1583, the price of wheat in the American markets for every week of the year from April, 1896, to May, 1897. Last November wheat reached the price of 87i cents per bushel? In" December' it reached 81,06; in January, 1897, it fell to 81.04K In February it fell to 98f cents, and on March 4, 1897, the day McKlnley was Inaugurated, wheat was selling for 941 cents. This was all before ''Mark Hanna put wheat up to 81 .10"or thereabouts," long enough to allow Armour and PilUbury to unload their 60q wheat at a dollar, and thus made the money which farmers have been given credit for making. The Republicans are still rattled about John R. McLean. They try to cover up the hideous deformities of their candidate Hanna by obtruding McLean "as a bogie to scare the voters. Now Mr. McLean has no more to do with this campaign than any other good silver man. He is not a candidate for office and never has been. As proprietor of the Cincinnati Enquvrer he enjoys a higher and more honorable position than any within the gift of the people of Ohio. He is a private eitizen and has declared time and again that he is not a candidate for the senate. Gen. A. J. Warner and a dozen other able men have announce i, themselves as candidates and if the legislature be Demeeratic the best man will win. With the Republicans it is different. They have no choice as to their candidate. The vulgar millionaire, Marcus A. Hanna, has forced himself upon the party as me candidate and the only way to defeat him is to vote for the silver candidates for the legislature. WORKINGMEN, REBUKE THE BUNCO STtfcRER. Workingmen of Zanesviile, with the Union Foundry shut down, with the leading glassworks shut down, with the Clark Stoneware company shut down, with the big brick works par tially shut down, with the Jones Sewer plant shut down, with a dozen other industries running with less than their usual quota of employes, the Times writer says mis moraine mat "rruvre men are employed ?i4 more money is be ing paid in wayes in Zamsville than ever before."

VERY REV. L. F. KEARNEY. By the courtesy of the Catholic Columbian the Signal is permitted to present to its readers the above excellent picture of the well beloved vicar of Zanesviile. At the triennial chapter of the Eaatfjrn province ot the Dominican order held recently at St. Joseph's this dioces for the election of a provincial, the choice of the electors fell on Father Kearney, but one ballot being cast. The new provincial has successively held the offices of Master of Novices, prior of St. Joseph's and represented the American provinces at the General Council of the order held in Spain a few years ago. Later, by appointment of the Master General he was made Visitator of the Convents of the order of the United States.

Are you a business man? Do you depend upon the fruits of legitimate industry for a livelihood? Are you weary of falling values and wages, the steady down ward .tendency of everything that pays debts and the rapid and steady advance of the price of the one thing you must buy to pay debts money? Do you consider it the patriotic duty of American citizenship to guard our free institutions from the encroachments of plutocracy and hand down to posterity, free and untrammelled op-Dortunity to the people instead of servility and bondage to a vested money power? If you are depending on the fruits of legitimate industry, if such are your sentiments, these words are for your earnest consideration. Are you fighting the people's battle? Are you going to strike a blow for liberty, country and home on the second day of November?

But the Signal would be false to the great principles for which it has so long contended and derelict in duty to its hosts of friends, were it not to utter-this note of warning at this time. - Battles are won by facing the enemy and giving blow for blow. The masses have ever been defeated by many of their numbers growing disgusted with the manipulations of the enemy in their own camp, and absenting themselves from the meetings and the polls on election day. This is precisely what the enemy desires, for the disturbers in the people's ranks always win their greatest victory when the people's cause goes down in defeat.

GOOD! V . Frank Fowler Found His Relatives Out of Danger When He Beached Mobile. MOBILE, Ala.. Oct. 23. After the fastest run ever made on the Louisville & Nashville railroad, the Frank Fow- ler special train from Cincinnati ar rived here at 5:25 p. m. yesterday. The time was twenty hours and ten minutes, while the regular schedule is thirty-seven hours. Fowler is a well known sporting man of Cincinnati. He received a telegram Thursday night that his sister-in-law and nephew were stricken with yellow fever. The regular train having left, he paid S880 for a SDeciai engine and sleener. that he might see his relations before death. He found them out of danger. A larce crowd met Fowler on arrival and he was aecorded a recention. The train made seventy miles an hour at times. Borer Hustling. Col.

He condescendingly remarked that in his negotiations with the committee he had discovered Major Dietz, the chairman, to be a perfect gentleman and that he now has implicit confidence in him. He is certain that their combined influence will be able to pull the Republican ticket through the brean- ers.

FIBST EDITION. ?m i Kij J, - FGWDEB Absolutely Pure THE LABOR CIRCULAR. s Vigorous Fight Is Urged Against Legislators WHO PBOVED THEMSELVES FALSE . ( o the Interest of Labor Rogers and Shryock Particularly Named as Deserving Defeat for Toting for the Infamous Fifty Year Franchise Bill Labor Has Now a Chance to Show Its Influence and Power. t President T. L. Lewis and Secretary August Smith, of the Ohio Federation of Labor, Friday began sending out the circular letter, as noted in a Columbus dispatah in the Signal yesterday. Copies of the letter arn hoino- nt the secretaries of all the labor organizations in the state. The circular con tains the names of all thn WiaiaHim candidates now before the people in the different counties and districts of the state who were members of the last legislature and who, the circular states, voted for the 50-year franchise bill and other measures opposed by the Ohio Federation of Labor. A tremendous concerted movement is to be made, so it said, to defeat the re-election of all the candidates named. i President Lewis Btated ) sentative of the Columbus PreM that the executive board of the federation of which he is a member, were simply following out the instructions of their constituents. They had no choice in the matter, but there were two members of the board who hold political jobs who voted against carrying out those instructions. The reason for their action is apparent and needs no explanation. , Mr. Lewis, who Is a Rnnnhllpan anA held a state office under .Governor McKlnley, is of the opinionthat the members of organized labor generally throughout the state will follow the instructions of the circular which is printed on paper containing the official letter head and Beai of the federation. The circular is as follows: Columbus, O.. Oct. 21. 1897. To Organized Labor of Ohio, Greeting: The executive board of the Ohio Federation of Labor in seBRion aaAm. bled at Columbus. Ohio. Ontolwi- 19 1897, decided to publish the names of such candidates nominated at the recent county and senatorial conventions who served in theJ5e venty second gpn-. era! assembly ana voted against mcs-" ures introduced in favor of the working masses. This action was taken in accordance with a resolution adopted at the annual convention in Januarv last, and raria as follows: Whereas, the Central Labor union of Akron condemns the action of the last legislature in granting fifty-year franchises to coroorations. thnmfnn ; be it " " .

Also that the next session of the legislature be asked 1 to repeal the present unfair law. To the above resolutions thn tive board decided to add all laws introduced on behalf of the workingmen and defeated.

Are you enjoying the prosperity the money sharks promised you one year ago? If you are not, will you permit them to bunco you again this year? The party now In power has increased the prices of the necessaries of life, but have cot increased wages. How does this benefit the workingman? Friends of silver should make their arrangements to go to Newark next Thursday to hear Bryan and Chapman. Excursion rates on all the railroads. The sure way to cast your ballot, so that your vote will count against the boss boodler of the age, Labor Crusher Hanna, is to put your X mark In the circle under the rooster. The lies now being circulated regarding Democratic candidates by Mark Hanna's hired agents are myriad in number, but sensible voters will be on their guard against them. The same old bunco crowd is trying to work their gold brick on to the voters this year, But the voters are not in a receptive mood this year so far as gold bricks are concerned. Are you satistied with the way county affairs are running? Collecting one-third more from the people in the way of taxes, now than when the people were flush and prosperous? Vote for Hogan. The Bellaire Steel works has Imported "scabs" from Pittsburg to take the places of the regular employes who struck against a reduction of wages thirty per cent, below what was paid last year. . If you are in earnest in your opposition to the rapid growth of Wall street influence in this country, you will not neglect to see that your name is properly registered in the precinct where you now live. Unless you are registered you cannot vote. : The Democrat who fears If the Ohio legislature is Democratic it will not elect a high grade senator, may as well dlsuel his fears. There are now more than a dozen candidates of high character. The next senator elected from Ohio will be a man, not a mere vulgar millionaire. i he i lines uecoraer 18 making a great effort to create the impression that Democrats are protesting against Bryan coming to Ohio. Have you heard any such protests? Well, hard ly I The Only fellows who are kicking about this arrangement are the Hanna gang of boodlers. Hanna hasn't crawled out of that Union Pacific $20,000,000 grab very successfully. If his own statement be true, that the plot was hatched during Cleve land's administration, he is hung by nis own rope, lor he was a government director of the Union Pacific by ap pointment of Grover Cleveland. In a speech delivered in Brooklyn re cently Thurston said: "There will be no more Republican presidents of the United States unless you elect Ben' jamln F. Tracy first mayor of Greater New York.j' As Tracy has absolutely no chance of being elected, the con elusion must be anything but cheering to the members of the g. o. p. - Is the farmer satisfied with his con dition under the Hanna gold standard? Satisfied to toil early and late, summer and wintrr, for long years and then discover that his wealth has not Increased but has rather diminished? Satisfied to see his land decrease in value and his taxes increase? Wake m, ve thinking men, and smite the Wall street oligarchy hip and thigh! While there is a remarkable certainty of the election of the silver ticket in the county, that fact should not be permitted to inspire indifference, or apathy. The duty of Democrats is plain. Let each one exert himself to insure the success of the whole ticket. The opposition is aroused and is now employing every tactic to win the race and are struggling and striving with an energy that deserves Democratic imitation. Friends of silver should not permit themselves to be ift-oved by goldbug appeals on the scoreof acquaintance or friendship. Vote the straight Democratic ticket and work on election dav for each candidate, each of j whom is in every way worthy of thb support of every voter in the county. The time from now until election is short, and every hour should be fully improved. Begin the business at once, let your work for the silver causa equal your opportuni ties. IF any person is not entirely satisfied as to whether or not Mr. Rodders, Mr. Shryock acd Mr. Swingle voted for the infamous fifty-year street railway franchise bill, we urge them to examine the offic.al Senate and House Journals and see for themselves. We have these official Journals in the Sig nal office and anyone can have his doubts set to rest by calling and seeing the records for themselves. The Columbus papers published the fact of the Columbus Buggy company reducing the hours of labor in their works, and the company never denied it. The letter which the Times Eetord- er publishes this morning has a decidedly fishy flavor. We venture to say that no responsible official of the company will say over his own signature that the works have run to one-half their full capacity during the past month. Let some mechanic applv tflere for a jOtj and ssee for himsCif. Mark Hanna, who has turned down Hon. C. L, Kurtz, Foraker's campaign manager for years, humiliating him on every occasion, finally concluded that he needed Kurtz in his business, and the past few days has been using his utmobt efforts to get him into line. He sent several minions to Kurtz, and, not succeeding, finally sent Forakeras a bearer of the olive branch. This also failed, and then he tried to get a per sonal interview, with the result that Kurtz sent the following message to Hanna: '"Tell Mr. Hanna that I do not care to meet him. He has injured me too deeply for forgiveness." The desperation of Hanna, feeling as he does that defeat stares him In the face and in a state that gave the Republican ticket 50,000 last fall, has led him to employ everv means in his power to save himself. He has even bent bis knee to Kurtz and other For- aker friends. He has had the national committee send out appeals in the shape of circular letters signed by Charles Dick, which letters have been received by Eoraker men In this city, appealing to them to vote the legislative ticket and thus save the countrv from the Democrats. The appeal is pathetic and shows that the great boss feels that defeat is in store for him. To the hard worker, the man who toils and sweats day after day for a mere sustenance, doesn't the thought sometimes come that his condition is not exactly what it ought to be? Does he never reason that so much hard work and so little to show for it, is not in accordance with the promises of a free republic? A slave in the olden time frequently had as much to show for his labor as the freeman of today. Surely there is something radically wrong with any republic where "wealth accumulates," in the hands of a few, and men decay." Will you' vote to endorse the System that has built up classes and millionaires In this country? A system that has driven the masses of the people into a hopeless state of poverty?What a wonderful thing is the tar iff.. The Republican statesmen who took the contract to make the farmers of this country prosperous and haDDV went about it by placing a tariff of $2 on hay and also substantially remembering clover. According to the Re publican tariff theory a tariff on any thing raised the price of the article protected. A tariff on hay and clover seed was to increase the price to the farmer. Has it done so? Look at the markets. The crop of both hav and clover seed this season was bounti ful. But the price is far below what it was last year. In fact .there are localities where the farmers are glad to get even a market for their hay. Where the farmer used to get $4 and 85 a bushel for clover seed he is glad to get 13 50 now. The haymows of the land are stacked full and the clover bins are overflowing. But the price has gone the other way, and here again is another illustration that neither Mr. Hanna nor Mr. Ding-ley had anything to do with either the rise or fall in prices of anything. It simply bears out what political econ' omy has ever maintained and what the Democratic party has always agreed with, viz, that the law of supply and demand takes precedence of political parties, platforms and political tariffs. Mr. Hanna as a Bupreme being is a total fizzle. Much glee has been manifested by the Republican press over the reports of the various custom houses of the country. It is shown that the exports of the country are in great excess of the Imports for the corresponding month of last year. This as everybody kcows is due to the demand for breadstuffs as the result of the. shortage in the old country There would have been an equal exportation no matter what party was in power and no matter what tariff was In force. But the Republican papers stop there They go no.further than the exports. Your Uncle' Sam is more Interested in the imports That's where he gets his, money. Through imports he isenabled to pay his private bills. But the figures do not encour age the idea that he will be able to keep on meeting all his bills. His im ports for the same month in which there was an increase of 810,000,000 in exports, also show a similar loss. As the Wilson tariff exacted a per oentage of 47, or a little less than one-half, and as the Dlngley bill is greater it is plain to be seen that on a basis of 810,000,000 less of imports the actual loss of revenue to the government on that sum would be about 85,000,000. In other words If this loss holds out the government will be a loser to the extent of 860,000,000 a year. When the Wilson bill went Into effect and reduced the shortage of the McKlnley bill from $69,000,000 to 84. 000,000 the Republican press fairly howled with agony. So far this year the Dingley bill has left the government with a deficit of 834,280,000. The de ficlt of the month up to -October 15 is 85,264,501.44. By the end of the month It will reach 810,000,000 or 812,000,000, At the rate it Is growing the annual de ficlt will exceed 8100,000,000. This is truly a fine showing tor a business tar' iff.

The United States treasury statement for 1897, shows, on page 1583, the price of wheat in the American markets for every week of the year from April, 1896, to May, 1897. Last November wheat reached the price of 87i cents per bushel? In" December' it reached 81,06; in January, 1897, it fell to 81.04K In February it fell to 98f cents, and on March 4, 1897, the day McKlnley was Inaugurated, wheat was selling for 941 cents. This was all before ''Mark Hanna put wheat up to 81 .10"or thereabouts," long enough to allow Armour and PilUbury to unload their 60q wheat at a dollar, and thus made the money which farmers have been given credit for making. The Republicans are still rattled about John R. McLean. They try to cover up the hideous deformities of their candidate Hanna by obtruding McLean "as a bogie to scare the voters. Now Mr. McLean has no more to do with this campaign than any other good silver man. He is not a candidate for office and never has been. As proprietor of the Cincinnati Enquvrer he enjoys a higher and more honorable position than any within the gift of the people of Ohio. He is a private eitizen and has declared time and again that he is not a candidate for the senate. Gen. A. J. Warner and a dozen other able men have announce i, themselves as candidates and if the legislature be Demeeratic the best man will win. With the Republicans it is different. They have no choice as to their candidate. The vulgar millionaire, Marcus A. Hanna, has forced himself upon the party as me candidate and the only way to defeat him is to vote for the silver candidates for the legislature. WORKINGMEN, REBUKE THE BUNCO STtfcRER. Workingmen of Zanesviile, with the Union Foundry shut down, with the leading glassworks shut down, with the Clark Stoneware company shut down, with the big brick works par tially shut down, with the Jones Sewer plant shut down, with a dozen other industries running with less than their usual quota of employes, the Times writer says mis moraine mat "rruvre men are employed ?i4 more money is be ing paid in wayes in Zamsville than ever before."
